non-lucid

My cousins from another state sent my family a hyena to keep for a couple of weeks.
What for, I don't know or remember.
At first it was very playful like a dog, we would play with it and things like that.
But when it came to feeding, it starting getting very aggressive and wanted to eat us.
I don't remember much but i remembered it bit my arm and my arm was bleeding.
It started coming towards me like it was going to attack me.
Then i just woke up.

Missed opportunity

Meeting Kiin
I'm somewhere with a woman. We see a tall, wide man - somehow I know his name is written Caya?e, or somesuch. I think nothing of him. The woman runs up to him and hugs him and calls him Hunky Kay which is straight from Elantris, though I didn't realize it at the time. I realize his name is actually Kiin (pronounced Kai-ai-an), and I'm confused about the spelling I saw earlier, since it started with the Kai-ai sound, but it didn't end in an N.

Somehow I end up getting a bearhug from Kiin too; my face ends up somewhere in the middle of his chest. While I'm caught in the bearhug, I'm trying to unlock my tablet. Somehow I'm typing behind his back, but the password is coming up cleartext. I quickly erase it so he can't see it.


Clothes shopping
I'm in a department store, shopping for shoes. A sales lady is trying to sell me a "whole new look," but I'm not interested. I'm still trying to look at the shoes, but I don't like any of them. She finally agrees to show me some that are more like the sneakers I'm wearing, but what she comes out with is very strange - like a sneaker with the laces and tongue removed. Since the shoes she was trying to sell me earlier went well with the "new look," I finally agree to try on the clothes and shoes together. They're dressier than what I usually wear (she's given me slacks and a long-sleeved, colored button-down shirt), but they look good on me. She also hands me a color-coordinated pocket protector. I realize that with clothes like these, I need something less like sneakers and more like dress shoes.

I'm aware of something happening nearby at a black ops lab; it has something to do with a melt-down, a plumber, and a locksmith.

Now I'm comforting the saleslady, telling her it'll be OK.


Tower defense
[COLOR="#FF8C00"]I'm playing a tower defense game. I've just discovered wizard units that automatically cast freeze on anything that comes in range, and I decide these are my new favorite units. I do well for a while, but eventually I start to get overrun. I'm trying to pinch to zoom out, but it's responding really, really slowly - a single pinch barely changes the screen, and I have to do it over and over.


Impersonating the Dalai Lama
I'm traveling with some guy. For some reason, he's dressed me up as the Dalai Lama. We get out of a taxi near our hotel, and I see I have a couple of large suit cases that I really don't feel like lugging with me. My companion says "Oh, if ONLY there were SOMEONE to help the DALAI LAMA with his LUGGAGE," and suddenly we're swarmed by helpful people who would love to carry the luggage.


China's coastline
I'm on a boat, traveling along the coast of China. It only takes a few minutes to travel from one end to the other. At each end, I can clearly see the countries it borders, since each country is a different solid color (just like on a map).


Making pizza
I'm at my pastor's house, making pizza for him. It's time to take the pizza out of the oven, but I can only find one pot holder. I see that one of his daughters has the other one. I wait for her to finish using it, then take it and use the pair to get the pizza out. For some reason, I'm having a lot of trouble dealing with the pizza pan, and I'm really concerned I'm going to burn myself.


Fragment
I'm calling my credit card company to dispute a charge.

*I watched people eat at this indian dinner very quietly and peacefully. Some chick made a comment about my IQ and I went off on her saying let's prove my IQ is bigger then yours!

*I talked with someone wears a jewish it shirt outside of a bar. They said these would be a sai baba event of some sort. Then we walked into a store with lots of hot women and one that I knew. I greeted her and told her I missed her. Then I went to go take a pee.
I toilet usual and had pee all over it.

I'm viewing this dream partially from outside. I don't have a role in the dream, it is as if I'm a ghost looking into someone else's life.

The dream revolves around this one special truck, that has a compartment inside of it so big, the owner had turned it into a bedroom.

Anyway, later on a fat guy with tattoos and brown curly hair comes by and wants to just take the truck after he had taken a look at it. Now, the truck was parked outside of a house in what appeared to be the middle of some desert. The owner of the house was apparently also the owner of the truck and he wouldn't allow for.the truck to just be taken away.

Mr. tattoo still wanted it and agreed to fight the owner for it. After this a lot of stuff happened which I can't remember so well.

At some point I'm myself and I'm standing on I think the second floor of cinema with my sister, about to witness the fight between the two guys. On one floor lower the family and friends of the house owner have assembled and as some sort of ritual he throws shotglasses at them before fighting.

My memory of the dream stops here.

There is not much I remember from this dream. I do recall that I'm at the supermarket with my mom and sister and we're standing in between the checkout station and the exit.

A man, appearing to be a homeless guy judging by his outfit at overall appearance, almost walks out with a shopping cart. I walk up to him and explain that he can put the cart back and reclaim the money he put in it to get the cart. He says he would like to get all of his money out, but that it's jammed and you need a 50 cents coin to remove it, which he doesn't have.

I do have one and help him get his 50 cents back. As I remove the coin, I notice there is also a 50 euro bill in there and also remove that for him.

My memory of the dream stops here.

So, I'm at this theme park with my dad and we're somewhere at the back of the park, where there are a series of small hedges, parallel to each other, lined up in front of us. They all have a small hole in the middle, just big enough to crawl through, so me and my dad crawl through them until we reach the end, which is simply somewhere outside of the theme park. I say to him that It's ridiculous to make something like that, because everyone can get in the theme park this way without paying.

Regardless, we walk on into an area with quite some trees and a lot of vacation houses and my dad warned me to be careful, because small landslides had been occurring here lately. I tell him I won't fall prey to a landslide like others because I have studied this phenomenon in engineering school. He smiles and we continue walking.

After this point my memory of the dream stops.

Dream recall from today's WBTB/nap.

Red ones outright killed players and blue ones resurrected them, one of players managed to get whole party down with one of them.

Dream 6(fragment):

I was in some forest place.

12:45
I was a rich male teen. It was my birthday and my best friend and I broke into a cake shop because my businessman dad was too busy and my mom too much on a diet to giver a proper cake. When the police arrived, they discovered that someone else had already broken into the store as well, and something way more serious was going on further in. I couldn't really see what, but I knew it looked serious and I had to persuade the police that we had nothing to do with it. At first they did not want to believe me, but then one of them recognized me as the son of one of the most important citizens in our town and somehow that meant he believed me. When I whined that I had not even yet had my cake, the police let me have some, though I was still under arrest for breaking in. It was chocolate cake with lots of icing.

5:30
In this dream I had a younger brother and we were both minors still. The authorities became interested because they somehow found out that my mom and stepfather would at times leave me or my brother alone for the night. They called me. I explained I was 16 so not an issue, but my brother was only 12, and I thought that was an issue, plus it was not like he and I were left together, but he was left all alone out of some reason. Anyway, I made the case worse by mentioning something else the authorities may want to know about my stepfather - don't recall what it was for sure but it may have been that they also sometimes leave their dog alone over night while they stay in the other house with the cat and my brother. Meanwhile I was with my father. LClearly this dream was supposed to take place soon after my parents divorce and thus I was angry with my mother and her new husband.

In fact I was still so angry I had not yet visited either of their new homes. In this dream they had two. I decided to correct that. So we arrived late at this old mansion.

In the mansion there was this cat in the bed I was going to sleep in. I discovered that when it meowed, I could actually make up the words in the meows. So the cat could talk, but others could not understand, only me. Somehow, I managed to reroute my stepfather's cellphone, so that when the phone rang, the cat started talking in the voice of my stepfather's brother, so the cat became the cellphone. My stepfather talked through the cat phone with his brother.

Later that night around 3:00 am or 3:30am my stepfather's brother actually showed up. He looked nothing like he looks in real life, but was a much younger, much slimmer, much handsomer, dark haired man. He asked my mother why she was holding a glass of wine, was there a party? My mom said that no, she was just having a glass of wine just because, and would he like to join her in some wine. He claimed that he was a recovering alcoholic though, and my mother should have known that. She said then why did you ask about the wine. He said he was hoping there was a party here, that he would have liked a party.

In a later scene I admitted to my stepfather that I had spoken on the phone with the authorities about the leaving alone of my brother and also of the dog, but somehow I managed to explain it in such a way as if the authorities somehow knew already, and I did not tell them of it first, so like I had not ratted on them. Btw, my brother was not with us at the house that night. Perhaps he was alone in the other house with the dog?

In the first dream I was flying some sort of space craft (probably an X-Wing or something as I was flying in a trench in the Death Star) I was trying of course to get a torpedo shot into the exhaust port, however just as I was about to get there one of those purple mines that are in Bosconain mysteriously blocked my path. I tried shooting it out of the way, but it did nothing and my ship crashed into it and went BOOM!
However, I seemed perfectly fine, as I was now inside of the Death star somehow completely unharmed. (I seem to go through a lot of injuries / death in my dreams, but always be perfectly fine) Anyways, then I was running around and found this random generator thing that I simply punched with my fist and the Death Star was toast.

This dream seemed to go on for a very long time, years almost. The first thing I remember is that there was this enormous wall that was decaying, and it seems like I had been in this zombie-infested earth for quite some time. It appeared that I was part of the survivors who had managed to patch together this huge wall between them and the zombies. However, I kept having all of these flashbacks / foreshadows about the zombies eventually breaking through and very many close calls in terms of my escape.

Eventually the dream shifted, and it seemed as if I had been there for years. Now the weird thing is... the wall had decayed completely at this point and there was nothing standing between normal man and flesh-eating zombie, other than some rebar and little concrete chunks from a wall long gone. It was as if the zombies had their own society and were just living in a state of super-poverty and deparation, while we watched on the other side, not much better. The best way to describe it is like the monsters in I Am Legend near the end, where they reach an understanding with the humans and go on to live in some sort of weird primal-instinct society. Anyways, this is what the dream became and it was very interesting. Who knows, maybe it will become a sequel to a great zombie movie.

10-27-2013 -- Not quite sure where I am, as the earliest part of the dream is fuzzy. Might be at the house on Hickory, might be at the Buena Park Mall. Running around, chasing and being chased in the earliest bits. Eventually come across a halfway cute, but young lady (15-16 I'd guess) who seems to be trying to get together with Larry, a roommate I had at the Amidon house. They are in love, and determined to stay so, but her father (who looks like the evil Mexican bandit from the original A-Team pilot (which I watched on Netflix the other day)) seems to intensely dislike the guy, and just glares at him for several seconds, then Larry just disappears into thin air.

The bandit starts bragging about rewriting time back in 1964, to cause Larry to never have even been born, and the girl is devastated. I can't believe this heartless jerk thinks he has the right to wipe out somebody's very existance just because he doesn't like him. That's just not kosher! "Well, at least you mentioned when you wiped him from existance, so I know when to go to, after I kill you, so I can fix things," I say to him, and I reach for him to kill him with a touch, but he disappears. I hear a slight pop behind me, and start to turn, just to see the bandit reaching for me, and I disappear.

We have a weird sort of chase around the mall, appearing here, disappearing there, each of us trying to catch the other, but as time goes on, we start to realize that even when we don't actually see the other person, we find ourselves disappearing if they get close enough to touch us. It seems we are not able to use our powers against each other directly. Finally, I give up, and just end up strolling through the mall, though I am still keeping an eye out for the bandit, because he will probably try to kill me in another way.

By this point the mall has changed from the Buena Park Mall to a strange dream mall I have frequently dreamed of. It has a layout very similar to the Westminster Mall, with it's three 'wings' and three anchor stores, but I always seem to refer to it as the South Coast Plaza, and it's physical location is more like the South Coast Plaza, as well. I am walking to the western end of the mall, which is where I most often seem to enter and exit this mall (odd, since the bus stops are over on the south eastern corner.) I find myself walking through the mall talking with Steve Robinson from PCUMC, while we kind of half watch Bing Crosby, who is dancing through the mall singing to people for some reason. We wander into a clothing store deep in conversation, and don't even notice Bing singing to us until he turns around and starts back out of the store. I turn to Steve and say "Was that ...?" "Yes, it was," he replies. And we call out a belated thank you to him. I decide I have had enough, and walk out the anchor store, planning to catch a bus and go home.

It's late at night, and I walk out of the mall and am heading toward what is sometimes the Sears auto center, but in this dream, there is a big pizza parlor there, lots of customers, bright lights, and a big lit up sign with a slice of pepperoni pizza on it. As I start walking, I remember my popping around, trying to avoid the bandit guy, and I think if I am able to do that, I ought to be able to teleport, so try to concentrate on teleporting myself home to Buena Park, but it doesn't work. Darn! (That's OK, I end up having a better time where I do end up in the dream.)

I walk south to the street, near the southwest corner of the property, then start walking toward the southeast corner, where the bus stop is, but as I am passing a driveway a big rig is pulling out, and half runs into me. It is trying to make a left turn, but is making it too tight, and is almost hitting a smaller truck (along the lines of an armoured car) that is trying to turn in to the same driveway, and I am just kind of riding on the front of the truck until it is past the armoured car and I can safely jump off. Then I continue along. There are a couple of guys that are hassling a lady walking toward the bus station, but they see me coming and run off. Unfortunately, she decides she is afraid of me, as well, and is running in terror, even when I call out I am not after her and don't have any desire to hurt her. She doesn't believe me, and there is nothing I can really do but ignore her.

I walk up to the bus shelter, and as I enter, I see three women standing there, one of them a slightly older, slim, attractive blonde. She looks at me with a desperate longing in her eyes and asks "Can you see me?" but as soon as she asks it, she disappears. I think back to my teleporting, and the bandit traveling through time, and assume random people are developing weird powers, kind of like on Heroes. I figure this woman is turning invisible, and doesn't seem to have any control over it. But she seemed so very afraid, so I just start talking to the air, hoping she can here me. "I'm guessing that usually nobody can see you. The funny thing is, I could, until you spoke, then I no longer was able to." The woman starts laughing almost hysterically, and the others are laughing as well. It seems I have been pranked! Too bad my teleporting is not working!

Instead I get on a bus. Things are kind of hazy for a brief moment, then I am getting off the bus again, and as I exit I look around, and I have only traveled a block from the bus stop. I didn't actually know where I was going, but it seems I am here. I am at a large apartment complex (or perhaps fancy housing estate) kitty corner from the mall, and while I have never been here before, and don't know any of the details, I know somebody has a room for me to stay at here, and I am kind of drawn to it. The area has a sort of castle-like motif to it, and I walk right into a large mansion that seems to be owned by a nice, mild fellow who looks kind of like Pat Boone, that clean cut sort of look.

We walk down a hall, and he is asking himself "Now where should we put you?" He starts to open one door and I catch a glance of a bunch of cool balloon sculptures in Qualatex's neon assortment, and some aliens made from lime green balloons, and I find myself remembering my last year at Hogwarts, and how I taught Hermione to twist figures much like that. I miss Hermione! Wouldn't it be a hoot if ... but no, I'm not that lucky. He walks me down a couple more hallways, and opens a door to a large room with a set of bunk beds in it, and a third bed off to the side. There are three guys here playing loud music. They ask me what's up, and I explain part of the dream to them (from about the point of Bing Crosby to the bus trip) and they explain that they only have one more song to reherse, then they'll shut down for the night, and I can get some sleep on the non-bunk bed. Somebody also says something about the new girl with the bushy brown hair. "Is she going to Harvard by any chance?" I ask, and a voice that sounds very familiar comes from the doorway "Well, actually, yes." I can't see her from where I am at, but I jump to my feet and turn to the door to find I'm looking at Hermione!

She calls my name (though I cannot tell if it is MY name or Harry!) and launches herself at me, crushing me in one of her patented Hermy-hugs. I just wrap my arms around her and hug her just as tight. I didn't quite realize just how much I missed her until I found her back in my arms. I find myself just standing there hugging and kissing her for about five minutes, while the guys playing music get more and more uncomfortable. Then we finally part, and she starts to lead me out of the room and over to hers. (Those were her balloons.) Guess I am going to be staying in that room after all. Hope nobody minds. Wherever we are, whatever this place is, there are a bunch of people staying here, and there are lines three or four people deep waiting to get into either of the restrooms. Hermione needs the restroom, so I just lean against a wall to wait.

I find myself looking out a large picture window, a huge sheet of glass, overlooking what seems to be a bit of a swamp. I see a swamp boat sitting in the corner with almost a sort of step ladder on it, and on top of the step ladder, Jed Clampett (Beverly Hillbillies) looking much like Granny in her rocking chair on top of the packed truck. I hear this evil cackling, and look up to see a stereotypical witch that looks like she could be straight out of the Wizard of Oz on a collision course with the air boat. So I wave my hand and teleport Jed and the boat somewhere safe, and missing him, the witch crashes into the swamp. Seems I have ticked her off, and in a flaming rage, she throws a large fire ball at me, but I wave my hand again, and cause a portal directly into hell to appear, and it sucks her fire ball and herself into it, and disappears with a pop.

I find myself really hoping Hermione gets finished with the bathroom quickly, because I'd really like the help of her mind to figure out just what is going on here!

Fragment of a previous scene involved a boy covered in words and strange designs related to a demon (or demons). Now, elsewhere, his father's poured something over himself which causes his flesh to melt and transform him into the image of a demon. Another man speaking to him says "Why did you do it?" "Because! I wanted to know his pain!" 'Him' referring to his son. The other man says something to the effect that this was a very foolish thing to do.

(Woke up. Back to sleep.)

The words "If you could know, wouldn't you?" and a paramedic getting annoyed at a woman who keeps trying to kill herself.

I'm standing in front of a checkout counter, looking at the rows of rock candy, picking one out and talking about nostalgia with the woman behind the cash register, the vampire who made me. I ask her how far back her memory goes, and she says she still remembers her mother. Talking about some other vampires, we agree that their method is much more sensible than ours, them being able to make more than one vampire, which is something we can't do unless the previous one dies; we can't support more than one at a time.

(Woke up. Back to sleep.)

Something about a 'Lazarus Door' for resurrection, and fog and some kind of danger.

A car that won't turn off. The owner's already taken the key out of the ignition, and for a moment I wonder how it's still running, but then I wonder why I thought keys in the ignition have anything to do with turning a car on or off. We take the car into the woods.

A fragment involving two teenage kids in the woods transitions into a sort of flashback showing the parents of one of those kids, back when they were still alive. They're both some kind of doctors or scientists, the wife has this mass of curly hair, and they're sitting at a table in some kind of office or lab and going over a file acquired by the husband's brother, while he stands across the table from them. The brother is "not like others," which is related to whatever the husband and wife are working on, and he's frustrated by working together with them, he's used to his freedom.

On the file they're looking at, there's a stylized drawing of two humanoid figures, one with the head of a bird, the other the head of a wolf, and although the husband and wife don't realize this, I'm aware that image represents the two teenagers from the previous scene, who are "not like others" in the same way as the brother. The wife is saying, "But what's really (some word meaning something like 'strange' or 'unusual' or 'notable' or 'attention-grabbing') here is that the bird has a Double Hartford rank, ten pages in. I can't open it up."

Sneaking to a party
I'm reminiscing with a friend about college, about the time we snuck off campus to go to a proper Halloween party. Our options on campus were either a campus-wide fling or ???. Now I'm walking through a giant cafeteria. I'm trying to walk with a confident step, staying away from everyone, but I still end up running into a security guard. We chat and hit it off; he offers me a slice of pizza from a box he confiscated from some guys earlier, and I accept. A group of suave bullies comes up demanding their own slices, and he gives them the rest of the box. They start demanding he finally show them the gym control room in the tower. He waffles but decides to do it as long as they're very quiet and don't touch anything.

Now we're climbing the tower. It's been decorated to look extra spooky. There's something subtly strange about the walls, and I spend a while studying them, trying to figure out what makes them so "scary." Now we're at the top. The guard has to go back to the gym but he gives us a short tour first.

Now I've snuck out the back door. I'm sending a text to my friend who's waiting in the parking lot. Now I'm in the parking lot. I close the door on my car so a red truck can pull away without hitting my door.


Train escape
A man is trying to escape from somewhere. He's got information that needs to get somewhere. Now he's acquired a train and is very pleased with himself. His feelings change when he sees a police train on a parallel track telling his train to stop for inspection. He realizes that a single car train is too suspicious. He hides somewhere on his train as the police train comes closer, but when they see what the single car is they let the train go without searching it.


Yard work
I'm working in the yard. I'm using a "tiller" - it looks like a drill with a marshmallow roasting stick spinning on the end. It's very effective: it can cut through any dirt, or even wood, turning it into loose soil. I'm working in my garden, tilling up the raised bed frame. I see my neighbor, a small middle-aged Asian woman, and talk to her about Centipede grass. I'm trying to get it to take over my lawn. My neighbor says she likes Centipede, but that it hasn't done well for her at her current house. As we're talking, I notice a drainage ditch between our properties. Looking closer, I see it looks funny; at first I think it's got little bits of ice floating on it, then I realize it's a lot of oil sitting on the top.


Workmen in the house
I've just come home and am walking into the breakfast nook. I notice the basement door is open and there's a new switch panel near the stairs. I remember there were supposed to be workmen here earlier, but I didn't expect them still to be working. I hope they didn't let the pets have free reign of the house. I walk over to the new switch panel and look more closely at it. There are 5 switches in a row, all looking the same. There's a large, seemingly fixed rectangle at the top with a couple of small buttons under it. I press one of the buttons to see what happens, and the light in the entryway turns slowly on, dimming from off to full bright in a few seconds. I press the other button and the light dims all the way off.

Now I'm down in the basement watching the workmen. They're trying to connect a small box to our furnace. It has a lot of wires hanging off of it, and they're having some trouble.


Fragments
I'm talking to my wife about cats and dogs. She starts to talk about how long the cats take to do something but realizes that's silly since the dog takes so much longer. Now I'm in a finished basement making some tea using an electric kettle. We both have chiropractic appointments soon, so I hope the water heats quickly. We have to call them to tell them that something has changed and to see if we can get an earlier appointment.

I Drove to pick up my sisters from school for some reason when i don't even have my licence yet.
I picked them up and my brother was in the car as well.
For some reason when i got back, the car starting driving off to the street and parked across the block which had Turned into a fast food place like a KFC for some reason.
I ran to the car, opened the door and there he was sitting in the passenger seat.
I asked him what happened and he said the car just started up and drove off. I didn't care so i got my sisters in the car and drove the car, but there was something wrong with the car.
I somehow managed to get back to my house with( was very hard for me)
Got it checked and we had these two strange visitors that came to visit my grandma,
Although we don't even know them.
I haven't even seen them my entire life and they were speaking a different language as well(some sort of Asian language)
then i noticed my brother and grandma arguing about something.
i saw my parent asking my brother something and then...,
then i don't know what happened after that.

Its was quite late at night and i noticed that there were lots of animals in my backyard.
I Decided that it was time to learn to hunt in my dreams.
I somehow got a gun from somewhere and shot a turkey and a wolf. They didn't die.
I noticed that they were kind of coming towards me like thy were gonna attack me.
Seconds later, they tried to carry me off and hide me like they were gonna torture me or something
I could see a timer on my right like that was how much time they had to capture me.
Then I don't know why but my Brother tried to capture me and then i woke up.
